Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the market town of Zhangjiakou in the caravan's sight was plated with a layer of pale yellow light, quiet and serene. Zhai Zhe has been here for three years, and of course he will not be deceived by its appearance, even when the business is at its worst, it is like a boiling kettle, which is completely different from the lifeless Ming in Seine.

Zhangjiakou is at the junction of the mountains into grasslands, the market town is in the flat mountain plain where the two mountains meet, a dangerous area more than ten miles away, a castle is built by the mountain, that is the garrison of the Ming border army - Zhangjiakou Fort, but from the day it was established, Zhangjiakou Fort has never been able to completely control the market town not far away. Every day, with the first rays of sunlight in the morning, stepping into the market town of Zhangjiakou are Mongolians from various tribes of the grassland, Han people living in the grassland, and even Dongyu people. For the Zhangjiakou garrison, they were most glad that this lonely castle had not suffered a fatal battle for more than ten years, and they could still collect a little money from the various businesses gathered not far away.

After entering the market town, the caravan split into two routes, and the caravan and escort were led by Sun Zicai to the warehouse. Zhai Zhe and Xiao Zhiyan went straight to the Zhai family's business name Wangshun Pavilion in the market town. In recent years, more and more Shanxi people have been forced to leave their hometowns and take risks because of life, and Shanxi people are hard-working and huddled together.

The two handed over the horses to the man at the door of Wangshun Pavilion and walked into the courtyard next to the shop.

After Zhai Zhe entered the door, he saw two middle-aged people talking under the long corridor in the courtyard, one was wearing a satin jacket with a thin face, and the other was burly, stretching out

He also wears a pair of iron armor on his wrists.

"Big brother!" Zhai Zhe took a step forward and bowed, the middle-aged man in a thin jacket was his eldest brother Zhai Tang, and the other was Hao Yangyou, the chief nursing home of the Zhai family.

"The second young master has arrived!" Hao Yangyou also arched his hand towards him.

Zhai Tang glanced at him and said, "The road is quite smooth!" Rest well, there will be something important to do in a few days. ”

Since his father retired in old age, all the affairs of Wangshun Pavilion have been taken over by Zhai Tang, and Zhai Zhe, the second young master, is also an ornament, although there is no shortage of money to spend, but the eldest brother is extremely vigilant about his interference in the affairs of the business.

"Yes!" Zhai Zhe retreated, led Xiao Zhiyan to wash briefly, and then walked onto the street.

Approaching winter, the excitement of the market town at night is not carried away by the cold wind, although it is not as prosperous as Beijing, the nightlife is also unique. Even if the proprietors of the various businesses were able to exercise self-discipline, they would not be able to forbid the men and guards who had left their homes and had their heads tied to their belts from indulging themselves once in a while.

The red lanterns at the entrances of several liquor stores in the middle of the street swayed in the night breeze, and not far from the liquor stores was the more lively Spring Building. The Han people who have left the city sometimes cannot return to their hometowns once in a few years, and the women in the Chunlou in Zhangjiakou are not as charming as those in the mainland, but the business is as good as that.

Zhai Zhe is not interested in the women here, in fact, he rarely even drinks wine. Xiao Zhiyan is obviously a frequent visitor here, and as soon as he opened the curtain of the wine shop, a guy came up to greet him: "Master Xiao, you are here, please upstairs!" ”

The restaurant was dimly lit, surrounded by noisy fist slamming, and occasionally interjecting a few swearing Tatar words. Occasionally, some Mongol tribes would come to the market town to collect goods and stay here for several days. The mare's milk wine in the grassland is far less delicious than the bamboo leaf green in Shanxi, but the grassland produces less grain, and they can only taste it from the Han people.

Zhai Zhe followed Xiao Zhiyan upstairs, found a remote corner, Xiao Er sent two pots of wine, and served a few side dishes.

"You said the Fan family's caravan came back a month ago?" After Zhai Zhe filled Xiao Zhiyan with wine, he frowned and asked. Perhaps the biggest mark left on him by his later life was that he would not have any shelf for everyone, which made him make a lot of friends.

"Yes, there was a sensation at that time, and the Lu family's face was very ugly." The Lu family was the largest wealthy merchant in Zhangjiakou, and had been in Zhangjiakou for nearly ten years as a friendly friend of the Mongolian Eastern Tumut Nangding Taiji, but with the defeat of the Eastern Tumut tribe by the Chahar tribe who moved west from the Duoyan grassland, the Lu family never made a big business again. This year, I also took the risk of organizing a caravan export, but it was like a meat bun beating a dog and there was no return. The Tumut tribe negotiated peace with the Han people for decades, and took in a lot of Han people who went out of the fortress, which can be regarded as Sinicized Mongols, although they are barbaric, but they will not plunder caravans at will, but the Chahar tribe is not, since Lin Dan Khan, they have never taken the Han people into account.

"The sky in Zhangjiakou is about to change." Zhai Zhe raised his neck and took a sip of wine, his eyes aimed at the dark sky outside the window.

Xiao Zhiyan snorted, but did not speak, the expression at the corner of his mouth seemed to say: "This is my business." ”

"Brother Xiao, you have such good skills, do you want to keep wandering here?" Seeing Xiao Zhiyan pouring wine for himself, he couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Zhiyan put down the flask and said, "So what, there are so many capable people in this episode, not all of them." ”

"According to your ability, if you are in the army, it is not much better than being a caretaker." Zhai Zhe knocked lightly on the table, although Xiao Zhiyan was the guard of the Zhai family, the relationship between the two was more like friends.

"I think it's more interesting in this episode." Xiao Zhiyan's face habitually put on a smile again, but a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

Not only him, but also Zhai Zhe, who was sitting opposite him, not only knew that the sky in this Zhangjiakou was about to change, but even the sky in Daming was going to change, and he could only drink in this market town.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and the wine was a little dull, when they suddenly heard a crackling sound downstairs, and then heard a scream, and then the noise became louder and louder, and went straight to the street outside, and then someone shouted: "Murder!" ”

The two put down the wine bottle probe and looked down from the upper floor, and the street was burned with more than a dozen \u

14f2

The 4e2a torch was shining brightly, and the two groups of people were facing each other, holding the knives, guns and sticks in their hands, all of them were Han Chinese. In this episode, the owners are very strict with the subordinates of the nursing home, and the various businesses often jointly organize caravans out of the fortress, and the guards are also friends on weekdays, and they all eat together, although there are occasional fights and brawls on weekdays, but there are very few knives. What's more, the hometowns of most of the guards are in the Guannei, and they kill people in full view of everyone in the collection, and they can't run away from the temple if they run away from the monks.

A sturdy yellow-faced man held a simple knife, pointed at the opposite side and scolded: "Ge Feng, it's just that you rebelled and sought glory, but now you dare to kill people in the street, do you think that no one in this episode can cure you?" ”

"Ge Feng!" Zhai Zhe knew that it was the second leader of the Lu family's nursing home, and he heard that he was also the master of business in the early years, and later changed his career to become a nursing home after going bankrupt at a loss.

The crowd became more and more, Xiao Zhiyan looked at the street where the torches were transparent, and said: "There are some things that I haven't had time to tell you, after the Fan family caravan returned to Zhangjiakou, it changed its usual cautious style of acting and expanded to poach people, and even I received their invitation." ”

"Are you saying that Ge Feng has now joined the Fan family?" Zhai Zhe was taken aback, this was a fatal blow to the Lu family.

"Not bad!"

Ge Feng has an inexplicable relationship with many horse thieves in the grassland, and the Lu family has always used him and guarded against him. Lu Dongjia is good friends with Taiji in Eastern Tumut Mongolia, and he is not afraid of what wind and waves Ge Feng can make. But after thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, now that the Eastern Tumert people have fled west to Guihua City and even the Hetao Grassland after being defeated by the Chahars, the former relationship of the Lu family no longer exists.

While the two were talking, a dark and thin man on the street sneered and said loudly: "Those who are here today are all masters who take money and sell their lives, how has my Ge Feng treated the Lu family over the years, everyone has seen it, how much benefit has the Lu family given me?" In the past, I worked hard for the Lu family, and the Lu Dong family gave me money, and you and I were willing. Now that the Fan Dong family has paid me three times as much as before, that is to look up to me Ge Feng, why should I join the Fan family? ”

The yellow-faced man on the other side was about to speak again. Ge Feng didn't give him a chance, and then said: "Everyone went to Sai to sell his life, just to make a living, and I am not a slave of the Lu family, so what do you say about betrayal, that kid scolded me all night, I gave him a knife, but his life was not killed." I, Ge Feng, have been in this episode for ten years, thanks to the owners who gave me face, and I have always been very polite to me, but if anyone bullies me, I am not easy to mess with. ”
